500 Amp Welding machine rebuild
It's been a while since I did this on ebut I thought I would share.
This is a 500 Amp Miller Air pac with a 12 KW 3 ph option it was in pretty sad shape after being used by the railroad for many years, but it still ran and all systems functioned as they should so that made it worth rebuilding
